Can we have one?
When Barack Obama was elected President, many of us were looking forward to that honest conversation about Race that we had needed for so long. Did we have it, because I don’t remember it, and based on what’s happening today, lots of people don’t either.
The media is supposed to speak truth to power. But what happens when they instead speak slander to a teenager? The answer is that is costs half a billion dollars. And counting.

Coleman Hughes
This time out, I’m presenting an article written by Coleman Hughes. It’s called “Stories and Data: Reflections on Race, Riots, and Police”. It’s his story, where he looks at the stories and data behind police shooting, and draws conclusions straight from them.

Hamilton faces the Cancel Culture
Conservative speakers at college campuses have been dis-invited, turned away by the mob, or required extra security (at the speaker’s expense) to deal with the cancel culture. CEO’s have stepped down, and Republicans have been shown the door in restaurants, but the Left was fine with this.
Then they came for “Hamilton”, and some on the Left grew a spine. Welcome to those of us fighting for free speech. I hope it lasts.

Neil Gorsuch
The Supreme Court did it again. Once, they created a “right” to abortion out of whole cloth. Another time, they redefined the word “marriage”. Now they’ve redefined the word “sex” in such a way that it could very well bleed through to other parts of law and culture.
Is this how a “representative republic” is supposed to work? (Hint: No.)

Predictions are tough, especially about the future
What’s coming after the virus? What will the economy and job prospects look like after this is all over? How long will things take to recover?
Listener Barb tries her hand at some predictions. But these are not just pulled out of the air. She draws from her own experiences as well as from contacts she has. Take a listen and see if you agree. If you don’t (or even if you do), let me know what you think as well.

Does God get any credit from Cuomo?
Many Democrats are bothered by the fact that their presumptive nominee for President is the old, white male that they have said only Republicans elect. But if you break that number down by race, you may be surprised by what you find. (Or not.)
Andrew Cuomo, governor of the state of New York, is pretty confident that the people have brought down the number of COVID-19 infections, and that God had no part in that. Interesting to hear coming from a Roman Catholic.
And a listener gives her thoughts about what she misses, is thankful for, and is sick and tired of during this pandemic.

Grieving during coronavirus isOK
I would not want to be any sort of political leader at this time. The potentially life-or-death decisions they have to make, with imperfect models and a virus we knew nothing about, have to be incredibly stress-inducing. I can’t blame them for incorrect decisions in those circumstances.
It’s healthy to grieve for what we’ve lost during the pandemic. And it’s wrong to disparage someone who does that.
